Google's rationale for shuttering G+ was a data breach. If they can shut down a service over something like that, what's keeping any service open?

Just FYI, you can't shut Android down, any more than you can shut Linux down.

Android is just another Linux distro when you get right down to it.

James Karaganis I understand that. I'm just pointing out Google's flimsy excuse to shutter the Ploos.

Yeah, well, it was something that was inevitable. I'm surprised they kept in running as long as they did.

Some things I've been reading indicate that there are some systemic issues within Google that led to this. People keep calling G+ a failure, but the reality is they have FOUR HUNDRED MILLION active users, and almost two billion accounts.

Seriously, if you can't find a way to make it work with quite literally hundreds of millions of users, whatever it is ... you're doing it wrong.

Didn't realize the numbers were that high.
If google can't do something with that then they are useless.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.
